Last few days to grab Dreamstate at the intro price! A swag of synth/dream/chillwave patches by @killstarr.bsky.social and myself.

New Diva soundset! This one is a first for Oblivion Sound Lab: a collaboration! I teamed up with fellow Melbourne producer Killstarr, and we each designed 60 patches broadly in a dreamwave and chillwave style. oblivionsoundlab.com/product/drea...

Cover art for Dreamstate, a soundset for the software synthesizer Diva. The cover illustration is in a retro, vaguely '80s-meets-art-deco style. A recumbent female head emerges from a grid like plane, like a mountain range. She gazes up at a sphere suspended in a starry night sky, possibly a planet. Text read: Dreamstate. Diva Soundset. Killstarr. Oblivion Sound Lab.

I agree! It does seem that their approach is fundamentally different for this very reason. Interesting to see where it goes and how it pans out. I remain optimistic for now.

A collectively owned Bandcamp alternative? Sounds good to me… I think there’s a big opportunity to make positive changes for artists and fans alike. What are your thoughts on this?

Adrian Earnshaw just did an in-depth playthrough of Dreamstate (my Diva soundset with @oblivionsoundlab.bsky.social).

He goes through a bunch of the presets and even wraps up with an amazing demo track using only Dreamstate sounds. It really shows what the pack can do!

Dreamstate for U-he Diva = instant inspiration

120 presets that turn Diva into a synthwave powerhouse — I demo sounds + share a track made entirely from it.

What sound library should I explore next?

Was never an issue for me on my Mac (thanks to ublock origin 😉) but I definitely appreciate no ads on mobile/tv/chromecast now too!

I finally cancelled my Spotify subscription and moved over to YouTube Premium (which includes YouTube Music). While I still think the Spotify interface is a little nicer (and one I'm more familiar with), YouTube has been a decent alternative for me.

Absolutely, and some of them very iconic too!

I always wanted the Roland JV-1080 but didn’t want to subscribe to Roland Cloud so I when I saw it was available for a one-time purchase and also on sale I picked it up!
